7. How does the author create more suspense?  The author keeps on creating problems for Jason, but he overcomes them. -Jason wasn’t allowed to go to Ron’s house so he had to figure out a plan. -Jason’s dad attacked his mom, so he had to save her. -Jason, his mom, Shauna, and Zak couldn’t go back to their house, so he called Ron and they stayed at his house.  These problems are making us readers wonder how he will be a star swimmer. If he has all of these issues going on, how will be able to focus and train?
